Interface SecondaryMultiKeyCreator</H2>
<HR>
<DL>
<DT><PRE>public interface <B>SecondaryMultiKeyCreator</B></DL>
</PRE>

<P>
The interface implemented for extracting multi-valued secondary keys from
primary records.
<p>
The key creator object is specified by calling
<A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/SecondaryConfig.html#setMultiKeyCreator(com.sleepycat.db.SecondaryMultiKeyCreator)"><CODE>SecondaryConfig.setMultiKeyCreator</CODE></A>.
The secondary database configuration is specified when calling
<A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/Environment.html#openSecondaryDatabase(com.sleepycat.db.Transaction, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, com.sleepycat.db.Database, com.sleepycat.db.SecondaryConfig)"><CODE>Environment.openSecondaryDatabase</CODE></A>.
<p>
For example:
<pre>
    class MyMultiKeyCreator implements SecondaryMultiKeyCreator {
    public void createSecondaryKeys(SecondaryDatabase secondary,
                                        DatabaseEntry key,
                                        DatabaseEntry data,
                                        Set results)
            throws DatabaseException {
            //
            // DO HERE: Extract the secondary keys from the primary key and
            // data.  For each key extracted, create a DatabaseEntry and add it
            // to the results set.
            //
        }
    }
    ...
    SecondaryConfig secConfig = new SecondaryConfig();
    secConfig.setMultiKeyCreator(new MyMultiKeyCreator());
    // Now pass secConfig to Environment.openSecondaryDatabase
</pre>
<p>
Use this interface when any number of secondary keys may be present in a single
primary record, in other words, for many-to-many and one-to-many relationships.
When only zero or one secondary key is present (for many-to-one and one-to-one
relationships) you may use the <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/SecondaryKeyCreator.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.db"><CODE>SecondaryKeyCreator</CODE></A> interface instead.
The table below summarizes how to create all four variations of relationships.
<div>
<table border="yes">
    <tr><th>Relationship</th>
        <th>Interface</th>
        <th>Duplicates</th>

        <td>No</td>
        <td>A person record with a unique social security number key.</td>
    </tr>
    <tr><td>Many-to-one</td>
        <td><A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/SecondaryKeyCreator.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.db"><CODE>SecondaryKeyCreator</CODE></A></td>
        <td>Yes</td>
        <td>A person record with a non-unique employer key.</td>
    </tr>
    <tr><td>One-to-many</td>
        <td><A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/SecondaryMultiKeyCreator.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.db"><CODE>SecondaryMultiKeyCreator</CODE></A></td>
        <td>No</td>
        <td>A person record with multiple unique email address keys.</td>
    </tr>

        <td><A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/SecondaryMultiKeyCreator.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.db"><CODE>SecondaryMultiKeyCreator</CODE></A></td>
        <td>Yes</td>
        <td>A person record with multiple non-unique organization keys.</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>To configure a database for duplicates. pass true to <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/DatabaseConfig.html#setSortedDuplicates(boolean)"><CODE>DatabaseConfig.setSortedDuplicates(boolean)</CODE></A>.</p>
<p>
Note that <code>SecondaryMultiKeyCreator</code> may also be used for single key
secondaries (many-to-one and one-to-one); in this case, at most a single key is
added to the results set.  <code>SecondaryMultiKeyCreator</code> is only
slightly less efficient than <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/SecondaryKeyCreator.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.db"><CODE>SecondaryKeyCreator</CODE></A> in that two or three
temporary sets must be created to hold the results.

<DD>Creates a secondary key entry, given a primary key and data entry.
    <p>
    A secondary key may be derived from the primary key, primary data, or a
    combination of the primary key and data.  Zero or more secondary keys may
    be derived from the primary record and returned in the results parameter.
    To ensure the integrity of a secondary database the key creator method must
    always return the same results for a given set of input parameters.
